Casting and Costume

All casting, composers and props have been sorted out/are organized to be done by ourselves. Sam White in the group is a composer, and I have props and costumes we are planning to use.
There will be two protagonists in our film. The rest of the cast will be filled up with extras which have been sorted out as friends and other actors have agreed to help out where-ever they can.

One of the protagonists will be the 'Blue Man' he is never named but this is what people have come to call him. He will be acted by me(Sam thomas) and will be dressed in a work uniform (white shirt, black ties, working trousers, black shoes blazer and a hat). He is too look like a busy business man, with not much time on his hands.

For our main protagonist in the film we will be using Ben Gibson. He has had acting experience when he was younger and he is also available whenever we are as he has similar frees to us and also is a friend of ours and will happily give up free time to work on the film. He is of a normal stature and is what we see as the average teenage boy. He is 17 years old and is part of the middle class.
The costume for this character will be basic clothing. He will, most of the time, be wearing a leather coat, jeans and a t-shirt. For props that link to the story, we will have him wear a medal from RAF. This links to his childhood in the story. Also it will act as the magical object  from propps narrative theory.

For  our flash back seen will be using a small child who will be the image of our main protagonist as of when he was younger. This role will be played by Sam Whites Little brother William White. He is aged 7, which is the same age as the character and also will be of similar attitude (Lively, active).

UPDATE(14/02/2010): Due to unfortunate circumstances, our lead actor, Ben, became very ill and then went away on holiday, making re-filming very difficult. Therefore, we have changed the main protagonist to Sam White. HE still fits with our character as he is of average build, and looks like the average guy. HE also is the brother of our younger Gordon therefore will actually fit better as he looks more alike.
